Lough Kinale (Irish: Loch Cinnéile) is a freshwater lake in the north midlands of Ireland. It is located on the borders of Counties Longford, Westmeath and Cavan.
Lough Kinale measures about 2 km (1.2 mi) long and 1 km (0.6 mi) wide. The majority of the lake is in County Longford. The lake lies about 10 km (6 mi) east of Granard.
Lough Kinale forms part of the River Inny. The lake's inflow is from Lough Sheelin and the outflow is to Lough Derravaragh. The neighbouring (but much smaller) Derragh Lough is also connected by a river to Lough Kinale.
Lough Kinale is a noted coarse fishing destination with fish species including pike.
Lough Kinale is part of the Lough Kinale and Derragh Lough Special Protected Area (SPA). Bird life in the SPA includes pochard and tufted duck.
